"SANDSTONE CENTER OF THE WOR> D"
BROWNHELM WAGES HOT
FIGHT ON BOND ISSUE
FOR THE BONO ISSUE.
s
Facts I'ri* jenteil liv tho 'Ho-ird.
Browiihelin believes In centralization, '.'.lie linn voted (or It.
Centralisation cannot be reallied
without more room In the central
building. The moms nre crowded new.
A letter from the state department
says: After centralization has been
successfully voted, It ot course become11 Ihe duty of the board to raise
funds either by vote of the people or
otherwise, that a building be constructed ami centralization be put In operation."
The stale his proved that centralization is a success. This year almost
200 centralized iichoola are being pro
Je.'tett aud built.- There are over 700
centralized schools In the state. With
one exception all the townships ot
P.eble county. Ohio, have centralized
their schools. They are unanimous In
aayln" that Ihev would nol go back to
the one-room rural schools.
The mon ay for the bonds and Internal on bon.ls comes out of a special
f md Created by a special levy. You.
bv voUn; lor tho bond Issue, give the
i K-i-l; u 1'tg.ut lo naka thia additional
lo--",". Thin tav la not. inculded In the
5 mill MHool t.iv. The Interest la distributed o\er the years ao that the
s»m*> amount U pild every year. The
tax for this bond Issue per year would
be approximately 16 cents on flOQ.,
$1.50 on $1,000. and $16 on $10,000.
How many men In Brownhelm who
have $10,000 worth of property would
object to giving $16 per year for a
good cause? If a subscription were
taken up tor some public benefit,
Brownhelm taxpayers would subscribe
more than that without flinching. This
has been proved during the war by
the tine way In which she has responded to every call.
Brownhelm township prides herself
on being one of the Ilrst townships of
the state in agriculture. Her people
believe ln progress along agricultural
lines. Shall we allow the rest of the
state to go ahead ot ua ln good
schools? Do we think leas of our
children than other townships? Are
wa going to wait utni lthe state de-
' partmeut compels ua to take action, or
do It willingly now?
Cost Statistics.
Extra cost of centralization:
3 more routos. average $675—-$2o:i5
Money saved by centralization:
Supervision by outsider $ 360
One less teacher @ $720 720
A rural school Janitors & $20 60
Tuition for 4th year pupils next '
year @ $70 - 660
$1840
Huarts co.Memfwypcmfwyparhdluwy
Extra coil of centralization..-$ 185
The $50,000 asked for includes all
equipment for building and the three
new waconj It covers all expense to
be incurred by the change to centralization.
The new building as planned ls estimated ut $40,000. This leaves $10,000
tor equipment, which will no doubt be
much more than Is needed. The re
malnder will, of course, be paid back
on the flrst bonds and Interest. It Is
better to make the Issue high enough
to more than cover expenses than to
be compelled to ask for another bond
Issue to finish the building. That only
raeana added expense.
The state only requires ua to install
one bench and one set of tools for
manual training and very llttlo apparatus for domestic science. This
would enable the school to start with
one class lu each at very little ex-
' pensa. One ot the regular teachers
would give Instruction In theae sub
Jects. bo no extra expense wolud be
Incurred for teachers. This would enable the high school to offer these aub
Jocts as electlvus In the flrst and second year and not require all pupils to
take Latin as we now are forced to do.
All boys and girls should not be compelled to study Latin but should be allowed to take more practical subjects.
The new building would also have a
laboratory for ubo in agriculture, and
better Instruction and more advanced
courses could be given in that study
We ask you to look the matter
squarely In the face and vote for tho
bond Issue May 20. so that you may
have a building that will give your
bov or girl better teaching, better
* courses, and a flrst grade diploma.
To vote "No" means tbat you are
uu willing to give your children the
aUrt that progressive communities demand.
To vote "Yes" means progress
I'leaae do not forget to vole "Yes" ln
the interests of yourself, your children and your community.
AGAINST THE BOND ISSUE.
The elector* of Brownhelm have
been notified by the board of education
to vole May 20 on a $60,000 bond is
tue, to build a $50,000 school bulletin -
—the same proposition voted down
two weeks sgo. The scheme of the
iiromoteM-9 Is to make a playhouse out
>f the present high school building,
far a gymnasium and a place to piny
IiaM.etball.
Our high school building was built
line'years ago at a cost of $12,000; it
•nuld not be built now for $26,000.
Phis building now accommodates the
high school and four outside district-;
leaving lluee more to be provided fo,
There are 00 clhldren in the foir
outside diatrlcts. No. 3, on the aotttf
ind close by, never asked to be II
off; nearly everyon.* voted no. Ui
Irlct No. 4, southwest district, ovoe

the home farms 5 mlkia, Itnpossibb
to get to in winter time, voted he
District No. 7 Joins Vermilion corpo

last 16 years.
The scheme was stsrted hy the high
school to make a playhouse out of the
high school bul bl lm. and build a $u(),
i)00 building In front of the present
one for a playhouse. Abraham Lincoln said "You may fool tbe people
.in. e but not all the time." At the last
vote centralization carried, the bond
issue lost. The three districts that
attend the central school are 2, 5 amis.
from the east to the weat on the ridge
through the township.
The First Vote.
The more conservative voted agalns'
It for two reasons. The first was that
Brownhelm has a tax duplicate with
$2,019,000 valuation and a 6 mills levy,
the limit, tor school purposes. Thi -
gives $10,000 to maintain tbe schools
tn Brownhelm. The school board bad
to borrow money to pay the last year'*!
bills, and is now $4,000 In debt, With
$6,000 sdded. It would be Impossible
to maintain such a proposition.
With less than 200 pupils the boarel
of education was nsked to build as
follows: A Ilrst class high school, pbv
ileal and chemical laboratory, domes
:lc science, up-to-date gymnasium
manual training and instructions in
agriculture, an agricultural laboratory
for scientific farming, rooms to be
used as a community center, an audi
liii-iu .i seating 400 to accommodate
farmers' Institutes, granges, aud for I
room to play basketball.
This ls what the "trickily" Is after
now. This Is going some for little
Brownhelm, with less than 1,000 in
habitants.
The board will build additions for
the centralization for the other three
subdistricts—what Is needed for the
good of the school of Brownhelm an,I
will be backed by all. The same thine-.
to be voted for this time, with the ex
.'cptiou of centralisation.

PUZZLING PACKAGE CLAIMED.
The package sent the Kuss drug
store by the Hall-Van Gordon company, mention of which was made In
last week's paper, was claimed by its,
original sender, shortly after reading
tho Item. Mrs. Charles Cheesman recognized, from tbe description, tbat tbe
contents were those she had sent her
son, Harland Martin, a month before
Christmas, and which he had never received. The package alao had contained a supply of candy, cigarettes,
and other articles, but evidently never
got farther than Washington.
I'o.-elueasier Stiwald hus received the-
following letter from the Ohio Waj^
Saving.t committee, which is particularly applicable at this time: It reads:
"The immense sum of $5,720,970 will
be paid to the people ot Ohio May 15,
Interest on their Second Liberty loan
bonds.
"Provla ion haa been made, as you
know, for tbe acceptance at postottlces
of Interest coupons tor payment on the
cost of war savings stamps.
"All ••launders agree that the way
to get rich ia to re-invest your inter-
eat and make your money work double time for you.
"Will you please advise your pa
trons nnd local papers that facilities
are provided at your otflce for the exchange of Liberty bond interest cou
pons tor war savings stamps so tbat
a portion of these millions coming due
May 15 may be reinvested not only In
the interests of the government but In
the lnteresta of the individual who will
profit thereby?
'Ohio, which led the nation In ag
gregate sales of war savings stamps
last year, maintains its proud position
this year, and now has taken the lead
in per "".pita sales aa well as aggregate. Mm.*- than 1120,000,000 of these
small but peerless securities are held
by the people of Ohio. The postal officials and employes ot the state have
been prima factors In this wonderful
record which we must maintain."

BROWNHELM WAGES HOT
FIGHT ON BOND ISSUE
FOR THE BONO ISSUE.
s
Facts I'ri* jenteil liv tho 'Ho-ird.
Browiihelin believes In centralization, '.'.lie linn voted (or It.
Centralisation cannot be reallied
without more room In the central
building. The moms nre crowded new.
A letter from the state department
says: After centralization has been
successfully voted, It ot course become11 Ihe duty of the board to raise
funds either by vote of the people or
otherwise, that a building be constructed ami centralization be put In operation."
The stale his proved that centralization is a success. This year almost
200 centralized iichoola are being pro
Je.'tett aud built.- There are over 700
centralized schools In the state. With
one exception all the townships ot
P.eble county. Ohio, have centralized
their schools. They are unanimous In
aayln" that Ihev would nol go back to
the one-room rural schools.
The mon ay for the bonds and Internal on bon.ls comes out of a special
f md Created by a special levy. You.
bv voUn; lor tho bond Issue, give the
i K-i-l; u 1'tg.ut lo naka thia additional
lo--",". Thin tav la not. inculded In the
5 mill MHool t.iv. The Interest la distributed o\er the years ao that the
s»m*> amount U pild every year. The
tax for this bond Issue per year would
be approximately 16 cents on flOQ.,
$1.50 on $1,000. and $16 on $10,000.
How many men In Brownhelm who
have $10,000 worth of property would
object to giving $16 per year for a
good cause? If a subscription were
taken up tor some public benefit,
Brownhelm taxpayers would subscribe
more than that without flinching. This
has been proved during the war by
the tine way In which she has responded to every call.
Brownhelm township prides herself
on being one of the Ilrst townships of
the state in agriculture. Her people
believe ln progress along agricultural
lines. Shall we allow the rest of the
state to go ahead ot ua ln good
schools? Do we think leas of our
children than other townships? Are
wa going to wait utni lthe state de-
' partmeut compels ua to take action, or
do It willingly now?
Cost Statistics.
Extra cost of centralization:
3 more routos. average $675—-$2o:i5
Money saved by centralization:
Supervision by outsider $ 360
One less teacher @ $720 720
A rural school Janitors & $20 60
Tuition for 4th year pupils next '
year @ $70 - 660
$1840
Huarts co.Memfwypcmfwyparhdluwy
Extra coil of centralization..-$ 185
The $50,000 asked for includes all
equipment for building and the three
new waconj It covers all expense to
be incurred by the change to centralization.
The new building as planned ls estimated ut $40,000. This leaves $10,000
tor equipment, which will no doubt be
much more than Is needed. The re
malnder will, of course, be paid back
on the flrst bonds and Interest. It Is
better to make the Issue high enough
to more than cover expenses than to
be compelled to ask for another bond
Issue to finish the building. That only
raeana added expense.
The state only requires ua to install
one bench and one set of tools for
manual training and very llttlo apparatus for domestic science. This
would enable the school to start with
one class lu each at very little ex-
' pensa. One ot the regular teachers
would give Instruction In theae sub
Jects. bo no extra expense wolud be
Incurred for teachers. This would enable the high school to offer these aub
Jocts as electlvus In the flrst and second year and not require all pupils to
take Latin as we now are forced to do.
All boys and girls should not be compelled to study Latin but should be allowed to take more practical subjects.
The new building would also have a
laboratory for ubo in agriculture, and
better Instruction and more advanced
courses could be given in that study
We ask you to look the matter
squarely In the face and vote for tho
bond Issue May 20. so that you may
have a building that will give your
bov or girl better teaching, better
* courses, and a flrst grade diploma.
To vote "No" means tbat you are
uu willing to give your children the
aUrt that progressive communities demand.
To vote "Yes" means progress
I'leaae do not forget to vole "Yes" ln
the interests of yourself, your children and your community.
AGAINST THE BOND ISSUE.
The elector* of Brownhelm have
been notified by the board of education
to vole May 20 on a $60,000 bond is
tue, to build a $50,000 school bulletin -
—the same proposition voted down
two weeks sgo. The scheme of the
iiromoteM-9 Is to make a playhouse out
>f the present high school building,
far a gymnasium and a place to piny
IiaM.etball.
Our high school building was built
line'years ago at a cost of $12,000; it
•nuld not be built now for $26,000.
Phis building now accommodates the
high school and four outside district-;
leaving lluee more to be provided fo,
There are 00 clhldren in the foir
outside diatrlcts. No. 3, on the aotttf

The scheme was stsrted hy the high
school to make a playhouse out of the
high school bul bl lm. and build a $u(),
i)00 building In front of the present
one for a playhouse. Abraham Lincoln said "You may fool tbe people
.in. e but not all the time." At the last
vote centralization carried, the bond
issue lost. The three districts that
attend the central school are 2, 5 amis.
from the east to the weat on the ridge
through the township.
The First Vote.
The more conservative voted agalns'
It for two reasons. The first was that
Brownhelm has a tax duplicate with
$2,019,000 valuation and a 6 mills levy,
the limit, tor school purposes. Thi -
gives $10,000 to maintain tbe schools
tn Brownhelm. The school board bad
to borrow money to pay the last year'*!
bills, and is now $4,000 In debt, With
$6,000 sdded. It would be Impossible
to maintain such a proposition.
With less than 200 pupils the boarel
of education was nsked to build as
follows: A Ilrst class high school, pbv
ileal and chemical laboratory, domes
:lc science, up-to-date gymnasium
manual training and instructions in
agriculture, an agricultural laboratory
for scientific farming, rooms to be
used as a community center, an audi
liii-iu .i seating 400 to accommodate
farmers' Institutes, granges, aud for I
room to play basketball.
This ls what the "trickily" Is after
now. This Is going some for little
Brownhelm, with less than 1,000 in
habitants.
The board will build additions for
the centralization for the other three
subdistricts—what Is needed for the
good of the school of Brownhelm an,I
will be backed by all. The same thine-.
to be voted for this time, with the ex
.'cptiou of centralisation.

PUZZLING PACKAGE CLAIMED.
The package sent the Kuss drug
store by the Hall-Van Gordon company, mention of which was made In
last week's paper, was claimed by its,
original sender, shortly after reading
tho Item. Mrs. Charles Cheesman recognized, from tbe description, tbat tbe
contents were those she had sent her
son, Harland Martin, a month before
Christmas, and which he had never received. The package alao had contained a supply of candy, cigarettes,
and other articles, but evidently never
got farther than Washington.
I'o.-elueasier Stiwald hus received the-
following letter from the Ohio Waj^
Saving.t committee, which is particularly applicable at this time: It reads:
"The immense sum of $5,720,970 will
be paid to the people ot Ohio May 15,
Interest on their Second Liberty loan
bonds.
"Provla ion haa been made, as you
know, for tbe acceptance at postottlces
of Interest coupons tor payment on the
cost of war savings stamps.
"All ••launders agree that the way
to get rich ia to re-invest your inter-
eat and make your money work double time for you.
"Will you please advise your pa
trons nnd local papers that facilities
are provided at your otflce for the exchange of Liberty bond interest cou
pons tor war savings stamps so tbat
a portion of these millions coming due
May 15 may be reinvested not only In
the interests of the government but In
the lnteresta of the individual who will
profit thereby?
'Ohio, which led the nation In ag
gregate sales of war savings stamps
last year, maintains its proud position
this year, and now has taken the lead
in per "".pita sales aa well as aggregate. Mm.*- than 1120,000,000 of these
small but peerless securities are held
by the people of Ohio. The postal officials and employes ot the state have
been prima factors In this wonderful
